Liverpool's 25 most expensive transfers of all time

Liverpool's 25 most expensive transfers of all time Make us your Google favourite Liverpool have been extremely successful in the transfer market over the past decade and while they previously had a reputation for being frugal, that has changed in recent years. The Reds splashed the cash in 2025 in a bid to back Arne Slot following their Premier League triumph, and their huge level of investment continued in 2026, after years of paying smaller transfer fees than their rivals. Below, sources runs through the 25 most expensive Liverpool signings in history. 25. Victor Munoz - €40m (from Osasuna, 2026) Victor Munoz had looked set to join Newcastle United following an impressive campaign at Osasuna, but Liverpool swooped at the last minute to hijack the deal. The Reds agreed a €40m deal for the Spain winger, who left Osasuna just one year after his move from Real Madrid. 24. Ibrahima Konate - €40m (from RB Leipzig, 2021) Ibrahima Konate joined Liverpool from RB Leipzig for €40m in 2021 with a good reputation. Although his former teammate Dayot Upamecano had made the headlines in the Bundesliga, Konate was arguably the more reliable defender. The Frenchman divided opinion at Anfield, but he won five trophies, including the 2025 Premier League, before joining Real Madrid on a Bosman deal. 23. Ryan Gravenberch - €40m (from Bayern Munich, 2023) Midfielder Ryan Gravenberch was one of Europe's biggest talents when he broke through at Ajax, but by the time he turned up at Anfield in a €40m deal, his stock had dramatically fallen. After struggling for game time at Bayern Munich, Gravenberch failed to break into the starting XI under Jurgen Klopp, before rising to prominence following the appointment of his compatriot Arne Slot. Played in a deeper midfield role, the Netherlands international was one of the most consistent and impressive performers in Liverpool's title-winning 2024/25 season. 22. Jeremie Frimpong - €40m (from Bayer Leverkusen, 2025) The third player signed by Liverpool directly from the Bundesliga for €40m was Bayer Leverkusen right-back Jeremie Frimpong. He joined the Reds off the back of two hugely impressive seasons under former Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso. A right-back who played more as a right-winger in Germany, Frimpong scored 30 goals in 190 games for Leverkusen and he arrived as Liverpool's replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold. 21. Andy Carroll - €41m (from Newcastle, 2011) Andy Carroll joined Liverpool on January Deadline Day in 2011 as the heir to Fernando Torres after he had joined Chelsea. Unlike Torres, however, the Englishman would fail to succeed at Anfield. A panic buy in the truest sense of the term, Carroll would go down as a massive flop at Liverpool after commanding what was at the time the largest transfer fee for a British player in history. By 2012, he was out on loan at West Ham and he joined the Hammers permanently in 2013. 20. Roberto Firmino - €41m (from Hoffenheim, 2015) Not many players can say that they redefined a position in football, but former Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino certainly changed the 'false nine' role forever. A player not really wanted by then-manager Brendan Rodgers when he joined for €41m from Hoffenheim in 2015, the Brazilian would go on to play a vital role alongside Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane in attack. After 362 appearances, 111 goals and 76 assists, Firmino departed for Saudi Arabia in 2023 as a club legend.

Sadio Mane - €41.2m (from Southampton, 2016) A year after Firmino joined, Sadio Mane arrived from Southampton for €41.2m and proved just as much of an inspired signing. The left-winger was a devastating forward for the Reds, with his speed and dribbling ability terrifying defences. Like Firmino, Mane departed in 2023 as a club legend, joining Bayern Munich. He scored 120 goals and provided 46 assists in 269 games for Liverpool. 18. Mohamed Salah - €42m (from AS Roma, 2017) Liverpool's attacking rebuild under Klopp was completed when former Chelsea flop Mohamed Salah arrived from Roma for €42m in 2017. A signing that raised eyebrows at the time, the Egyptian went on to establish himself as one of the best forwards in Premier League history during a stellar nine-year stint at Anfield. Salah eventually left to join Trabzonspor in 2026, departing as Liverpool's third-to
